ÚJ LÁTÓHATÁR Literary and Political Review Editors: Gyula Borbándi, Josef Molnár SUMMARY On the first pages of this issue a pseudo-linguistic theory, the so-called „Hungarianism", and its origin is debated by Lóránt Czigány (London). The Hungarian Historical Society in New York has got hold of copies of reports which were sent to Budapest by Hungarian envoys in Moscow as well as informations Hungarian diplomatic missions were supplied with by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the years 1934—41. Based on these documents, Andor Gellert (New York) worked out the devel­opment of Hungarian—Soviet relations of that time. The Society is pre­paring this documentation, which has been unknown so far, to be available for scientific requirements. Tibor Dénes (Geneva) writes about Cesar de Saussure, a Swiss traveller of the 18th century, who was for a time in the company of Ferenc Rákóczi, Prince of Transylvania, when he was in exile in Turkey. New poems by Péter Bálint (Budapest), Ágnes Mária Csiky (Köln), Judit Földes (Antwerpen) and Elemér Horváth (New York) are also in­cluded in this issue of Űj Látóhatár. Sixty years old Győző Határ's role in the modern Hungarian literature and his works are evaluated in a congratulatory essay by György Gömöri (Cambridge). Furthermore this issue contains commemorations on two recently died Hungarian writers. Imre Kovács (New York) recalls how Lajos Zilahy was attacked by his political adversaries in the U. S. Magda Zalán (Rome) evokes Melchior Lengyel's last years in the Italian capital. In the Observer column Gyula Borbándi deals with a book, published in Budapest, on Hungarian poet Attila József by Dániel Fábián, a close friend of the poet and a prominent member of the populist movement. Mr. Borbándi also discusses a West German publication: this book introduces six Hungarian poets, living in the west, in German translation. A new book by Hungarian architect and writer Pál Granasztói is reviewed by Iván Sanders (Stony Brook, N. Y.). Imre Kovács deals with a volume of verses by Margit Mikes, New York. Ferenc Palinay (Baden bei Wien) comments on a book by István Sőtér on postwar events, printed in Buda­pest. Finally, with particular attention to the task Üj Látóhatár has completed during the last 25 years, publisher József Molnár discribes the financial situation and prospects of the periodical.
